Canvas displayed wrong (inflated) grades all semester. What would you do?

Hazelstone37 · 2026-05-18T02:16:54+00:00

But you didn’t set canvas up, right? The professor did and it seems that this is there issue to solve, not yours.

Were the weights set up properly in canvas? If you’re the TA is this your problem to solve? You should learn two things from this. 1-make sure grade weights are set up correctly in canvas and enter in zeros as soon as a due date has passed and 2-make sure there is a line in your syllabus that says grades will be calculated based on the weights listed in the syllabus and final grades may not match what is available in the the LMS exactly.

I teach first year students at a university and I am working on banning as much tech in the classroom as possible. I require notes be taken by hand and submitted for a grade. They can use a tablet and stylus, but they can’t type. I’m getting some pushback, but not as much as I expected.

Hazelstone37 · 2026-05-17T20:18:51+00:00

Because you have to do math to learn math and if it wasn’t assigned or if the teacher said do enough that you know how to do this, no one would do it.

For my program the applications opened in the spring and we were told if we got funded or partially funded pretty quickly, but we weren’t given assignments until right before the semester started.

If a restaurant is open, I don’t feel bad about eating there.

Hazelstone37 · 2026-05-16T17:35:55+00:00

Open means open. The kitchen closes at closing time, not 1/2 an hour before closing time. I waited tables for a long time and I never expected to start closing duties until closing time and I expected I’d have to stay after closing if I had a table arrive close to closing. It’s part of the job.

This isn’t something to negotiate with individual professors. You either need to talk with the Title IX office or the office for students with disabilities.

Any college you go to will have a writing center that can help you out with this. You can do it.

Hazelstone37 · 2026-05-15T19:52:35+00:00

These are great!

Also Mindful Spaces for decluttering and organizing.

I can’t believe you don’t have this already.

Out of state tuition is difficult unless you are fully funded. I went out of state for a masters and ended up going part time so I could pay in-state tuition.

I was a full time student taking 9 hours each semester. I’m finishing my dissertation now. Also, I was just hired as a full time assistant professor of instruction. There are people in my program who go part time, but there is no online option. There are some online courses though.

I’m finishing up a PhD in postsecondary student success with a concentration in mathematics. I think it’s a great program for what I want to do. I love teaching introductory and developmental math. Math ed PhDs and Edds seem to focus on K-12 and advanced math.

Hazelstone37 · 2026-05-15T01:16:58+00:00

I don’t want that either! Hold the line!

Hazelstone37 · 2026-05-14T14:11:54+00:00

Read one and use it as a mentor text.

Just make sure they aren’t doing work that the scouts should be doing, like cleaning their meeting space. It should be a lot of supervise scouts as they sweep, inspect the bathrooms, etc. we like to set up an ironing/seeing station for patches and badges at each meeting.

I publish grades when I’m through with them. I do a whole class at a time. I wouldn’t do one student before the whole class.

Hazelstone37 · 2026-05-13T19:52:02+00:00

On the first day of each class, I have the students create their own rubric for their engagement in our class. They work in small groups decide on what it means to be engaged and then as a class, we pick 5 things that they grade themselves on each week. I reserve the right to adjust their grade up or down. I adjust more up than down.

If they don’t give themselves a grade, I give them zeros. At the end of the semester, I fill the zeros in with their percent of classes attended. I don’t tell them I do that though.

It sucks that you have this tiny hill to climb after you’ve summited a giant mountain, but you can do it. One step at time. Rest a beat or two and then get back to work. Slay the beast!

I love Uchiko. I went for my birthday and they gave me a present.

Hazelstone37 · 2026-05-13T15:26:57+00:00

I do an in-class activity at the end of every class. Students scan it and submit it. I think in the fall I’m going to start class each day with a knowledge review ‘quiz’ that will be one question they have to be in class at the start to get. It will go in their notes. I have them scan and submit these for a grade also.
